Radeon HD 3870 X2 Review
Radeon HD 3870 X2 (not Crossfire) is a dual-graphics solution of two Radeon HD 3870.
This combination is expected to offer almost the same performance as Radeon HD 3870 Crossfired while consuming up to 25% less power. However, and just like Crossfire, its performance also relies a lot on proper driver support.
Today's modern demanding games will have to be played using the medium preset but with fluent frame rates. However, DirectX 11 games aren't supported.

Yes it will be better to exchange it if there is no money involved as this is much better but make sure you meet the psu and temp requirements before you go ahead and exchange.

No, buy a 7750 or 7770 or GTX 650 Ti. This GPU does not even support DirectX 11.

I know man , but i dont have money right now , you know , i was wondering is it worth just to exchange with mine card for now , later will buy gtx 550ti :D .

First off, please remove the GeForce GT 220 two cards because that GPU does not support SLI. Then, I doubt you have a 550 Watt PSU to run this GPU :P
I suggest you save for GTX 550 Ti, then :)
